The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Kelvedon Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
About our regrouting in Kelvedon Hatch
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you’re dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can help.
For a small place like Kelvedon Hatch, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

What else we do in Kelvedon Hatch
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
What we are called out for in Kelvedon Hatch
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that will not come clean
Letting a property close to Shenfield station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.

Questions from Kelvedon Hatch
I let a flat near Shenfield station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Kelvedon Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before work begins.
How much does regrouting cost in Kelvedon Hatch?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Kelvedon Hatch
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around New Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
